Great name for a business that sells lei(s)?
I was going for Last Minute Leis, but people started to point out that it sounds like an escort service. And not a fancy one. I'll be selling many different kinds of Hawaiian leis and other little trinkets. But the business revolves around leis. I need help with a name. I have a few in mind. Please tell me what you think and suggest some of your own! *Keep in mind that there is no plural form of lei. The word "leis" is inaccurate. So give me your opinion on that as well.
Hanalei Leis
Hana Lei
Mau Loa Lei (Mau Loa means forever)
Ahi Lei (Ahi means fire)
And I'm out of ideas......
Maybe it shouldn't have a Hawaiian name. It might be a bit misleading. I'm not Hawaiian. I lived there for a few months and visit often, but I'm not Hawaiian and don't have any family ties to Hawaii. It will definitely hold Hawaiian ties since it is a Polynesian art form and I want customers to acknowledge and embrace the culture, but I don't want to go all out tiki torches, pig on the spit, hula dancer on my business. Just focusing on mainly flower garlands. (But also ti leaf, nut, and shell garlands, and other trinkets.)

I like Hana Lei the best of your suggestions :)
The word Lei is fine in describing the plant and doesn't sound any better with the s on the end of it.
Quail wouldn't sound right as quails and deer to describe one or more sounds much better than deers so it's all good.
I would try to have fun with it with names like :
Lei Lady Lei Flowers
(Lay Lady Lay a song originally by Bob Dylan and others)
Lei Down Sally's Trinkets and Things
(Lay Down Sally a song by Eric Clapton)
Lei It On The Line Trinkets
(Lay It On The Line (a song by Triumph)
Business is business and you don't have to be Hawaiian to sell Hawaiian things but it might help a little.
It's all I got so throw it out if it's silly/stupid OK?
Either way good luck growing your successful business :)

A lei is a garland made of flowers.
Perhaps a name like "The Hawaiian Lei Company" would do justice to your business.
